The StarForge Archive Charter defines the documentation standards, eligibility criteria, formatting structure, and canon-alignment principles governing the Star Forge SWTOR Roleplay Character Registry.
The StarForge Archive operates as a structured, searchable archive of original SWTOR RP characters on the Star Forge server in Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR).
This Charter regulates record integrity and archival standards.
It does not regulate narrative outcomes, guild structures, or server-wide canon.
The StarForge Archive exists to:
• Document original SWTOR roleplay characters
• Maintain chronological alignment within the SWTOR timeline (3653–3620 BBY)
• Preserve canon-consistent character positioning
• Provide structured, durable record-keeping for Star Forge RP
The Archive functions as a long-term continuity reference system — independent of transient platforms or evolving event systems.
All submitted character dossiers must meet the following criteria for inclusion.
1. Original Character Requirement
All archived entries must represent original fictional characters situated within the SWTOR era.
Not permitted:
• Real-world individuals
• Direct portrayals of established Star Wars canon characters
• Parody or intentionally disruptive profiles
• Cross-franchise crossover characters
Characters must remain era-appropriate in tone, technology level, and political context.
2. Canon Alignment Principle
All content must remain consistent with established SWTOR-era lore.
Permitted:
• Original narrative developments
• Era-consistent speculative detail
• Faction-aligned backstory elements
Not permitted:
• Direct contradictions of confirmed SWTOR events
• Modern anachronisms
• Lore-incompatible technological elements
• Narrative claims that override canonical expansion outcomes
Chronological placement guidance is provided in:
👉 SWTOR Timeline & Lore Reference
3. Required Dossier Structure
Each submitted character entry must include:
• Character name and designation
• Allegiance classification
• Era positioning within SWTOR chronology
• Background summary
• Timeline-relevant contextual notes
• Status designation
Submissions are reviewed for structural completeness and canon consistency.
Approval indicates formatting eligibility within the registry — not narrative endorsement or power validation.
The Archive maintains professional documentation standards for all published entries.
Prohibited within archived material:
• Hate speech
• Harassment
• Explicit sexual content
• Graphic violence
• Real-world political advocacy unrelated to the SWTOR setting
Mature themes (war, trauma, political conflict) must remain contextual, era-appropriate, and aligned with SWTOR narrative tone.
The Charter governs documentation standards — not interpersonal conduct between players.
Images associated with character dossiers must meet both legal and stylistic requirements.
Accepted:
• In-game screenshots from Star Wars: The Old Republic
• Original fan art (with proper creator credit)
• Non-derivative AI-generated artwork created by the submitter
Not permitted:
• Real-world photographs
• Photorealistic depictions of identifiable individuals
• Copyrighted promotional materials
• Artwork copied from other creators without permission
Images should appear stylized, illustrative, or cinematic in tone and consistent with SWTOR-era presentation.
The Archive Charter governs:
• Documentation standards
• Formatting structure
• Inclusion criteria
• Canon alignment principles
• Sustainability rules
The Archive does not operate as:
• A live roleplay platform
• A recruitment directory
• A guild registry
• A server-wide narrative authority
• A dynamic event tracking system
The framework is intentionally static, indexed, and durable.
Submit Character serves as the official intake mechanism for registry inclusion.
Submission initiates:
• Formatting compliance review
• Lore alignment assessment
• Chronological positioning verification
• Structural suitability evaluation
Submission does not create:
• Membership status
• Platform privileges
• Narrative authority
• Gameplay benefits
Inclusion signifies archival registration only.
For submission guidelines:
The StarForge Archive is designed for:
• Search clarity
• Canon awareness
• Chronological precision
• Structural consistency
• Long-term sustainability
It exists as a documentation system for the Star Forge SWTOR roleplay community.
Records endure beyond transient events, guild changes, and evolving storylines.
Roleplay evolves.
Events conclude.
Narratives shift.
The record remains.
Organized.
Searchable.
Sustainable.
Does this Charter create server-wide canon?
No. The Archive documents individual character positioning but does not define official server continuity.
Is this affiliated with Broadsword Online Games or Lucasfilm?
No. The StarForge Archive is a player-driven documentation project for the Star Forge SWTOR roleplay community.
Can submissions be rejected?
Yes. Entries that fail structural completeness, violate canon alignment, or breach content standards may be declined.
